Parakeet Health raised $10 million to expand its conversational agent platform that automates patient outreach, including calling, texting, and emailing patients to schedule and manage appointments and referrals. The Series A round was led by Canvas Ventures and included participation from Blank Space Ventures, StoryHouse Ventures, and HMC INQ. The company’s approach aims to reduce operational friction in patient engagement workflows, particularly in clinical systems where referral-to-enrollment and appointment follow-through remain bottlenecks. For biotech and healthcare delivery stakeholders, automated outreach can become an infrastructure layer that supports clinical trial enrollment and patient access to care, while also lowering administrative burden for providers. The funding also signals continued investor confidence in AI-driven health communications tooling that can be deployed quickly without requiring new clinical trials.
